As an atheist, I have never said "there is no god". I'm not saying that god does not exist, fact. I'm saying I just don't believe he/it/thing exists. Is that so hard to understand?
Lack of belief is not a belief. Since I'm not claiming anything. Atheism is very easy to understand. It's all about lack of belief in god. Saying you don't believe in something doesn't make it a religion. So no it's not a tenet.
Why do theists just hate the idea that atheism isn't a religion?
Since when does a lack of belief in something becomes a belief? Since when does lack of belief turn into a religion? Since when is religion based on lack of belief? Last time I checked, it isn't.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
